GNGTS 2024 - Atti del 42° Convegno Nazionale

Session 2.1 GNGTS 2024 have been linked to strong earthquakes, particularly during periods of low solar activity, as documented by Fidani (2015). Currently, Earth is witnessing the development of numerous geophysical earth observation networks, each designed for specific purposes. These evolving networks aim to monitor various facets of our planet's geophysical activity. As highlighted above, recent findings suggest that many of these networks hold potential applications in earthquake studies. Satellite monitoring networks are implemented through various programs, including NOAA and MetOps, which focus on meteorological forecasting. Additionally, the Swarm constellation was operational for monitoring the geomagnetic field. Finally, Cses02 was scheduled to be launched after Cses01 was placed in orbit in 2018, creating a dedicated project for earthquake monitoring. A ground-based network is for example INTERMAGNET, see Fig. 1, a collaboration of digital magnetic observatories accessible a t https://intermagnet.org/ . INTERMAGNET adopts modern standard specifications for measuring and recording equipment, facilitating seamless data exchanges and the near real-time production of geomagnetic recordings. Furthermore, a long-term plan for the integration of existing national and trans-national research infrastructures for solid Earth science in Europe, EPOS a t https://www.epos-eu.org/ , sustains such a program through the utilisation of multidisciplinary solid Earth science data, data products, and services, along with physical access to facilities. It is in the process of developing a federated and sustainable research platform aimed at delivering coordinated access to harmonised and quality-controlled data spanning diverse Earth science disciplines. This platform will also offer tools for analysis and modelling. EPOS actively promotes global interoperability in Earth sciences and extends its services to a broad community of users. Such prospectives and discoveries have ignited a growing interest in investigating the feasibility of a comprehensive analysis that incorporates multiple parameters, both ground-based and space-based, to evaluate the occurrence of a seismic event.
